World Card Making Day

I am sure everyone knows by now that yesterday was World Card Making Day. I hope you had time to get a card or two done. I was doing the challenges on the Fiskateer site but there are fifteen of them and two of them are making cards of 4. That is a lot of cards! I thought I would share my cards here since I know some of you are not Fiskateers and can't go see them there.

This was done with Copic Markers and Memento Ink. I used the Fiskars Border Punch "Leaves" and a few rhinestones. I also added gold edging on the red paper.

We had to make a card inspired by our favorite song. Can you guess what my favorite song is? Well, one of my favorite anyways. Truth is, I have many favorite songs but this is one of them. If I had a smart phone I could even get the song as ring tones. (Yes, I still don't have a smart phone. I have a dumb phone.)

Welcome to day two of the Orange Blog Hop

Welcome to day two of the Orange Blog Hop where members of Fiskateers, a community sponsored by Fiskars, is sharing their passion for crafting! You should have arrived here from Lyn’s Thoughts. If you just happened to stumble upon this hop, please be sure to go back to The Fiskateers Blog  and start at the beginning.

For my project I did hybrid pages, keeping with our orange theme I did my Thanksgiving Pages from last year. I figured I should do them before Thanksgiving is here this year plus this is one holiday I tend to think of when using orange (Halloween being the other). My pictures are on a brownish mat and then mounted on an orange-ish background (that is the computer part done with My Memories Scrapbooking Software. Everything after that I did.) I took these pages and mounted them on white cardstock then my orange12x12 cardstock background pages. Each one is decorated using different items so I listed what I used below each picture.

As a reminder...I am aware some of these are not stitched together perfectly. My paper is 12x12 but my scanner is not so each page you see is really four different scans stitched to make the one page which means I have four chances of throwing my page off by tilting a scan or not getting it just so. Any ways, as you can see I did mess some up slightly so I ask you to just look past these. My birthday is coming and hopefully I will get the new software I wanted....PSE 9 or 10. (Did you know they came out with a Photoshop 10?)

I hope you liked the pages I have done for day two of this hop. Of course you have another chance to win...

My Memories software is so easy to use and has fantastic paper to choose from. Even though I used the same paper on all my backgrounds there are so many to choose from. I like using this for hybrid pages (like the ones I showed you) but there is so much more than can be done using it. Check it out for yourself. I hope you like what you see because one lucky person taking this hop will be winning their own My Memories Suite.

How to win.

1. Be a follower.

2. Visit My Memories Suite and click the “New Kits” …pick out your second favorite.

3. Leave me a comment telling me which one is your second favorite and a way to contact you if you win.

While your there look around and explore the different things there. After all, that one person who wins My Memories Suite could be you!

I thank you for hopping by and I hope you enjoyed my Thanksgiving pages from last year. Your next hop is over to Tifany’s blog…. Ink Blots by TRD

Fiskateers

Another year as a Fiskateer and I am loving it. Below is the Fiskateers Way and keeping with that way it is the best time to ask you to consider joining the Fiskateers. Why? Do you like looking at other people's work for inspiration or just to see what everyone is doing? Do you like a community where you can chat when you want? Do you like joining swaps? Do you like receiving RAKs? Do you like hops and games? Like winning prizes? Would you like to learn other things to use your Fiskars product for? How about learning a new technique? And don't think we all use only Fiskars products exclusively. Most of the rules are that you only need to use ONE Fiskars product to enter your layout/card or to enter the blog hop/challenge. Don't have one? Don't fret....you will win one in no time at all and I know you will love some of the Fiskars products and will use them as part of your normal crafting supplies.
So does it all sound good? Sound like something you would be interested in?There is more...much more. For example we are having a party in each state just for Fiskateers. CT is having it on Oct. 15th which happens to be my birthday....now I can't wait until my birthday...LOL. We just finished the Lift-off Challenge which was a weekend of challenges put on by the Card Lifters and Liftateers where you do the challenge and are entered to win prizes. With something like 30+ challenges, I am sure you would have found a few that interested you. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, just ask me how to join and you too will be taking the oath of the Fiskateers Way!
